I'd love to see this for all the other gestalts who never got a box... including Botcon Magnaboss and other oddities like Modulus.
Yes. I realize this is a wild pipe dream.

For anyone who attended the Build-A-Figure workshop at Botcon 2016, getting a 2nd complete Ratchet Build-A-Figure would be quite an accomplishment, for any who didn't (99% of the fandom), getting this is going to be pretty much a life-long quest. Yeah I know there is one lucky SOB out there that has all the figs, but if I ever complete this in my lifetime, it will be quite the feat.

Those hole don't look to have any function in any modes, but my first thought was that they were supposed to connect to a couple of pegs placed in the inner side of the lower legs to make the leg mode more stable.
Then I noticed that the legs don't have any pegs that would do that.
So has anyone idea the purpouse of those holes?
Since the waist is different, it's not like they were designed for Cutthroat.

I've found two uses for them so far, but it's hard to tell if either of them is the "intended" use.
One is to plug his sword in for when he's in alt mode - instead of putting the 3mm peg under his beak, put it there instead and he's got a totally impractical blade underneath him!
The other is actually as a spot to plug figure stands in - the usual hexagonal hole is hidden in alt-mode, but things like figma stands, etc. fit perfectly into those holes as well, so you can still display him actually in flight if you have a stand for it.
EDIT: Since I had a moment, here are some quick snaps:

Thanks for the info, seems like a headache to go through and collect, giving two components are from botcon and one is a subscription figure which is defunct now.

I really should buy a couple extra to paint and finish out. Maybe some fan would want to buy a finished out custom instead of a solid white one. Hmmm.

Well I have the SG SS, and Rook, and getting the single release Scattershot is still easy/inexpensive. It's just those last two. Yes there are a few BC 2016 Ratchet's on eBay right now, but the cheapest goes for $250, then there's the issues of getting the sticker sheets (which are actually there right now also),and then painting, which admittedly - I'm not good with paint, which is why I don't get into kitbashing or figure customization . If I could just purchase another CW First Aid and cover it all with the Medix Sticker sheet, I'd be content, but I don't think that would work.

There's always RoboCon, now.gothsaurus wrote:It makes me really grateful for the successful and beautiful sets and figures we HAVE gotten, and where the club and convention filled in gaps in our collections and in the lore. I do really miss those guys — and Botcon.
